Polymer 80 Ergonomics?

[virulosity]

I have been shooting a P80 build more now that it's finally broken in and reliable. Now I noticed that my strong hand thumb really hurts after about 50 rounds. I never experienced this with glocks before, so I did a little side by side comparison and noticed the relatively generous thumb rest / depression on the glock frame. I added a hogue slip on grip but it doesn't ride up high enough to help this issue. I am considering buying a DPM guide rod to reduce recoil as well, but it's expensive and not sure it will help. Has anyone else run into this or seen any mods to address it?

I can’t speak specifically about the P80, but my thumb doesn’t rest anywhere near the “thumb depression” on a Glock frame. Sounds like you are sandwiching your right thumb between your left palm and the frame? Maybe try shooting with your thumbs up and forward.

Thumbs are up, but it pushes back into the bone where my thumb meets the hand

I prefer the ergonomics of the Polymer 80's over any Glock frame. The P80 just points more natural for me and does have the hump on the backstrap who h helps me tremendously. I just wish the P80 would fit in a standard Glock holster because if it did I would carry it over a Glock.

These are nice holsters for the p80s for 50 bucks

I’m not sure about the full size, or the SC, but the compact frame does kind of push my strong hand thumb into an akward position. I find myself settling for a resting position (as opposed to being guided to a recess in the frame like a Glock). The discomfort seems to move into the web of my hand versus my thumb, but that’s just me.

Littlegat makes some decent Kydex holsters for the P80:

They’re around $70, but it’s a CA small business which I don’t mind supporting.

If you're OK with finger notches, Butler Creek makes a grip that work perfect on the P80. It's a bit softer than the Hogue and is really comfortable but probably won't last as long. I used the largest of the 3.
